Studio 397 has updated the BMW M2 CS for rFactor 2 to version V1.47, bringing the car closer to its real-world counterpart. Interestingly, Studio 397 has also Studio 397 hinted that this car will #Soon be available to everyone, free of charge.

  • Performance and Handling Updates:
    • New tyre model, including cooler tires for better grip in prolonged cornering.
    • Refined TC and ABS systems with increased ABS sample rate to 200Hz, ensuring shorter braking distances.
    • The gearbox shift protection system has been added.
    • Noteworthy tweaks like a more aggressive blip, reduced rear spindle friction, updates to suspension geometry, and many more all converge to offer a drive that’s responsive, intuitive, and dynamic.
  • Fresh Liveries: The car will now feature an array of new teams, giving you a more varied grid and online racing choices.
  • Sound Overhaul: Rev up the engine and you’ll notice the distinctive, new sounds, finely tuned to mirror the roar and grunt of the actual M2 CS.
  • Animation & Visuals: The enhanced driver animation now makes every move inside the cockpit more lifelike.
  • Driver Assists: We’ve tuned the traction control to be less intrusive, letting you feel more connected to the track. An increase in the ABS sample rate to 200Hz should help reduce braking distance. A further minor adjustment to ABS aims to offer a smoother force feedback experience.
  • Engine Tweaks: Adjusted fuel consumption for the different engine types (350bhp vs. 450bhp).
